Am I correct that this applies to none of her commercially released CDs, but
only to concert performances on fortepiano? If not, which CDs are in
meantone?

Greetings,
Ayeee!! Is this the Piano Technician's Guild we are referring to? If
so, I would like to say that the "Guildness" of a technician is not a factor
in what is tuned. I would certainly hope that the choice of temperament
would be the resulting harmonic balance of the music.
